Firefighters do not discriminate when it comes to saving lives. Redlands Firefighters rescued Xena, an 18-year-old, 1,000 pound polo horse Monday on the Westbound 10 Freeway at Tennessee in Redlands after the horse’s leg got stuck between trailer slats and began bleeding heavily.
Xena, who is from Rancho Santa Margarita, became anxious on a ride back from Palm Springs at 3:45 p.m., Redlands officials said.
Xena kicked out the side of the trailer, causing her right rear leg to get stuck between slats.
She received a wound just above her hoof.
Redlands Firefighter, paramedic and captain of truck 261 Dempsy Chappell and his crew responded to the call.
